Upon hearing Emily’s comment, Janet managed to maintain an impassive expression with her eyes exuding a frosty glint. Her voice was tinged with a sense of coldness when she confronted her with an airy tone, “What has it got anything to do with you? Who are you to me?” Janet’s icy voice reflected the estrangement between herself and Emily clearly.
Emily’s face flashed with awkwardness because she knew that she really had no business in Janet’s private affairs. At that moment, Grandma Jade descended the stairs and entered the living room. Sensing the tension in the air, she couldn’t help but frown in confusion. “What’s going on?” she asked.
As far as Emily knew, she was sure Grandma Jade would give Janet a piece of her mind if she learnt about what Janet had done with her boyfriend. Excitement flickered on her face at that thought. Immediately, she approached Grandma Jade and said, “Grandma, we were just talking about Janet’s boyfriend.”
“Boyfriend?” Jade frowned at that term before moving her weary eyes to Janet and then to her neck.
Narrowing her eyes at Janet, she queried, “Have you got a boyfriend?”
Having heard Jade’s question, Emily felt elated deep down inside because she was sure Grandma Jade would give Janet a piece of her mind.
“Nope.”
“Then how did you get the bite mark on your neck?” Emily blinked her eyes innocently and asked curiously.
“Did someone bully you?” That was the first possibility that popped up in Grandma Jade’s mind. After all, not only was her granddaughter a very beautiful girl, she had a great figure too.
Janet answered after a short pause, “No.”
“What on earth happened then? Don’t worry, you can tell me anything!” Grandma Jade’s heart went out to Janet when she saw the bite mark on her neck. “I’ll make sure whoever did it suffers!” She would hunt down the person who dared to bully her granddaughter even if it meant she had to risk her life! “Megan, ask Brian to investigate who met with Janet today!” She was forced to resort to such a way since Janet refused to reveal anything.
The corners of Janet’s lips twitched resignedly because she couldn’t afford to let her family know that she had participated in the Sandfort Autumn Car Racing Championship. Just as Megan was about to make the call, Janet suddenly stammered, “W-We aren’t officially a couple yet because I’m still observing whether he’s the right one.”
“Observing?” Emily sneered, “So you have a puppy love then.”
The Jacksons had always been strict when it came to the education of their children and Megan was not one who would allow Janet to start dating at such a young age. However, Grandma Jade actually let out a sigh of relief when she heard Janet. “Is that really the case, Janet?”
Seeing that Janet remained silent, Jade immediately drew her into her arms and exclaimed, “I’m happy as long as you aren’t being bullied by anyone!” Then, with a wide grin she turned to Emily and said, “Puppy love is normal at this age. During my time, I married your Grandpa at sixteen and gave birth to your uncle at eighteen.”
“That’s…” Megan was left stumped and was forced to swallow back the words she intended to say.
Emily couldn’t believe what had just happened. Did Grandma Jade just express her support for Janet? Also, was she allowing Janet to date at such a young age? Didn’t her mom ban them from dating early? Why didn’t she step forward to say something?
“Grandma Jade, things are different nowadays! What if she got pregnant out of wedlock? It would be devastating to our family’s reputation if it was known by the public!”
“Don’t worry.” With her eyes shining brilliantly, Janet chuckled and spoke like she was trying to console Emily, “I won’t fulfill your wish by allowing it to happen.”
Emily was left stumped. At first, she intended to sabotage Janet by making a big fuss out of that bite mark on her neck but did not expect to be mocked by her instead. Yet, she had to admit that Janet was very eloquent. Not only had she found herself a man so quickly, she also felt no shame about it.
What a slutty b*tch she is. She didn’t carry herself like a young lady of the Jackson Family, unlike Emily who was gentle, elegant and knowledgeable. Hence, Emily made up her mind to stop bothering about Janet’s rebellious acts.
Giggling, Jade continued, “You may think about having kids two years later!” Then, she advised in an earnest tone, “Janet, if that guy ever forces you to do things that you aren’t willing to do, just tell me. I’ll punish him by hitting his head with a bat!”
